Hello,
Me and my husband are expecting our second child, we went for our first scan at 13 weeks and 5 days on Wednesday only to be told our NT was 7mm, the scan ended quite quickly after and we were sent to a private room and given a ton of information about CVS/amnio tests and given an appointment with Fetal medicine this morning.
This morning we met with a consultant who rescanned baby and found fluid around the heart and lungs, told us there is a 1 in 5 chance baby has Down syndrome, Edwards and Pattaus and therefore carried out a CVS. We were also told there is a 10% chance baby won’t make it to term and a 50% chance something is wrong with baby. My HcG levels were raised but PAPP A were normal.
My heart has broken into a million pieces. Me and my husband are fit and healthy, as is our daughter and we never expected this devestating news that our baby might be poorly or we may he asked to considering ending a much wanted pregnancy.
Can anyone share a similar story or give us any hope at all of what we could be facing? Also any honestly about our outlook however bleak it may seem. I’m so scared and shocked and feel like I’m stuck in a terrible nightmare. Hearing real life stories somehow brings me comfort.
Xx
